I believe in the integrity of the PNP investigation regarding the blast in Congress. The blast could be the handiwork of a group of former Abu Sayyaf members. What I do want to hear from them though is:

a. Is it possible for them to consider the possibility of the bomb being planted deliberately in that motorcycle owned by the driver of Salapuddin to obfuscate police investigation?

b. Is it possible for them to consider the possibility that the blast was “hitting two birds with one stone”? Meaning, the perpetuators thought of killing Akbar in the hopes of further destabilizing government? That the plan was not purely revenge or rido; rather it could be more than this?

Studying the way police handled the investigation, I can say that the probe was credible. And I commend PNP Chief Razon for solving this investigation in a speedy manner.

However, this incident exposed a raw nerve–security of this country is vulnerable. If ASG members can bomb the third pillar of the state, what could prevent them from doing the same thing in Malacanan? Political or monetary concessions, I believe. If this is the only ones saving our country from anarchists, terrorists or extremists, then, we, the people, must do the saving ourselves.

Government must admit that we are really the weakest link in the region against terrorism. I can’t blame the police. The PNP under Razon right now is doing the right thing. The main problem is the people’s lack of trust to the top government executive. This lack of trust is affecting peace negotiations with dissident groups.

I predict that national security will further weaken if Mrs. Arroyo continues to maintain a callous stance for calls for her to resign. I correct myself, the weakest link in the fight against terrorism is not the PNP–it is Mrs. Arroyo and her gang of ravenous wolves. Misgovernance is affecting national security. The vulnerability of the state is becoming worse by the day.
